Devlyn sustained a finger injury in a practice match before the beginning of the 2018 AFL Women's season. Surgery to repair the finger was successful with a four-to-six week timetable placed on her recovery.[7] She was delisted by Fremantle at the end of the 2018 season after rupturing her left ACL in a training session.[8] Devlyn was signed in July 2019 to the West coast Eagles AFLW team as an academy signing for the club's inaugural season in 2020 having fully recovered from her knee injury. Devlyn was delisted by the Eagles on 9 June 2021, after playing 6 games with the team throughout her career.[9]
